Commentary by Conor McNamara, Summarised by Paul Robinson
Their host and wolves do have a very good record here at this Stadium uh since coming back up to the Premier League in 2019 they have done very well on their visits here the referee is Paul titini Villa in their clar and blue playing from right to left as we get
Underway wolves in what they like to call their old gold and Alex Moro plays the ball in field to Douglas Luiz I’m looking forward to the Midfield battle today Douglas Luiz and Yuri tons against mariio Lina and chiao Gomez Paul Robinson alongside me and amilio Martinez you’ll be pleased with the
Goalkeeping Union Paul he’s been given the captain’s arm band today it’s a very rare rare one that goalkeepers get the captain’s arm band isn’t it but I think it’s it’s a fantastic match up the atmosphere before kickoff was nothing short of Sensational U looking forward to a very very good game interesting to
See how wolves line up there was talk before the game that he would match Villa in a 4411 but it seemingly seems that they’ve started with three at the back SEO playing right wing back 8 Nori left wing back and the three Center halfs five line for the BBC and Philip
Park on Blue Skies it’s a really good atmosphere here as Moreno wins the ball on the edge of the Wolves penalty area flashes in A Low cross comes off the knee of toy Gomez and Spills into a left back position where Ryan URI takes a calming pass back into the center again
Wolves if we’ve seen all season under Gary O’Neil they are comfortable on the ball they will spray it around and Nelson C comes over the halfway line right hand side for wolves who play from left to right as we look down their goalkeeper Joe making his 100th Premier League
Appearance Santiago buo Max kilman and totty KZ are those three Central Defenders Nelson Smo at right wing back Ryan URI on the other side then Tommy Doyle along with J Gomez Mar Lina and Pablo Sarabia pushing forward with Leon chaom this 18-year-old who’s making his Premier League debut thrust in from the
Start he’s yet to get his first touch Sarabia crosses from the right hand side but it’s too close to Emmy Martinez have possession back to Villa once again so nil nil here on the Premier League let’s check it at Ashton gate England against Wales three early tries for England Mass
RI will bring us up today the women’s six nation and you think they’ve got the bonus Point win wrapped up now England their fourth try coming from a rolling mall with a clock in the red at the end of the first half lar Atkin Davies touching down the conversion was missed
Though so at halim it is England 24 Wales 3 thank you m you can watch that game on BBC 2 right now we listen to full commentary over on Sports extra earlier on today France beat Scotland 15 points to five in that competition here at Villa Park of the Premier League
Douglas Luiz BRS a ball forward Santiago buo on the edge of his Zone D is able to head away Tommy doy Unown from Manchester City gets full control of it for wolves and plays a cing pass back to the Defenders once again there was a late Challenge on Pablo Sarabia a moment
Ago and the referee has just hiled up play to see that the Spaniard who played for his country last week is okay well he can’t afford any more injuries Gary O’Neil canny he’s got one of the biggest injuries list of key players in the Premier League at the moment we know
That COA is back in training this week but he hasn’t made the bench today so that tells you that he’s not ready Bellard Netto Dawson and hang he’s really lacking attacking Forward Thinking players in his side hence the reason that he’s given a debut to Lee on
Chuom here is chome involved for the first time down the right wing nice little chop turn to come back inside of pow Torres that’ll cam his nerves a little bit the 18-year-old who scored for England’s under 18s during the international break and here he is in the premier league for the first time
And leading the line for ws and Gary oal has had such problems with keeping Striker Fair T Chan Wang has been out for a while Matas kuna has missed now seven games of his hamstring injury uh there’s no Pedro Netto either as Sarabia pushes it into the penalty area Nelson
Tomato tries to cross low straight at P Tores whose clearance is poor Villa should have got it away there Nelson smato controls in his chest tries to shrivel and shoot and it’s blocked out for a corner wolves looking sharp we’ve not played four minutes yet asille and
IL wolver have to wander his nil they’ve started very brightly especially down the right hand side with the three Center halfs it’s allowing Nelson SEO to push on down the right hand side link up with Lina and they’ve won the side of corner on this right hand side so a busy penalty area
Awaits as wolves have pushed a lot of players forward here comes the inswinging delivery Martinez stay on his goal line doy on the edge of the area hitch it it was a clean strike but off Target he caught it sweetly enough but the trajectory was was slightly wrong
And it’s several yards wide of the Target first proper attempted goal of this 530 kickoff of the Premier League asille and nil wolves nil you can see what he’s looking to do there Tommy do the ball goes into a crowded box he Circle the box to giv them a little bit
Of security ball comes to him touches it out of his feet tries to whip it up and over the bodies into Emilio Martinez he far right hand corner doesn’t quite get the execution right but good start from wolves really is Toby Toy’s looking for his first ever Premier League goal he
Did score against brenford in the fa up in January the game of cat and mouse commences and we’ll see a lot of this today as Villa played the ball out from deep and this is a bit of rotop where they try to attract opponents in towards
Them kza who has had a big month as to the England debut over the past fortnite came on as a sub against Brazil started against Belgium he’s played it in field I think it’s come off a hand there and referee Paul tiry has given a free kick to Aston Villa inside Wolverhampton
Wanders territory yeah it’s just a on olle Watkins the ball goes into him and it’s Max kilman who just lay on Ole Watkins the referee to his credit he tried to play Advantage because Viller had kept possession but it wasn’t good possession a decent position and he’s
Brought it back for a free kick on that far side right in front of those wolver Hampton wonders fans who weren’t too happy about the decision an agitated unai em was letting everyone know about it on the edge of the technical area there I think his body language his
Demeanor I’ve interviewed him up close a few times in recent weeks unai Emery looks stressed he looks to me like a guy who knows there’s a great opportunity here but [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] on the right hand side Nelson Sao takes it up Morgan Rogers has got a duty to
Get back goal side of him there’s a little one two with lamina and back to Tommy D once again and wolves still looking composed in these early stages nil nil you can clearly see Gary O’Neil’s tactics from an early stage he’s playing with a three at the back
When they’re out of possession they’ve got the five but as soon as they get possession SoMo and eight Nori the two Wing backs they’re pushing on to make that five in Midfield and they’re trying to overpower Aston Villa in the Midfield and the wide areas really good start
From this wolves team and we’ve seen Gary O’Neal do that numerous times this year haven’t we tactically very aware tactically very clever here is Nelson CA on the right hand side for wolves pushes it down that right flank where Mari Lina takes on Rogers and goes around him with
These to the m line cuts it back but the ball had got out of play before he brought it back in again and the assistant on the near side Scott Ledger raising his flag and lamina who thought he was in a position to cross there had
Actually run the ball out of play asille Andel wol have to wander is n Paul Robinson well out of those Midfield five if you like when they’re in possession it’s Mario Lina that’s joining Sarabia and shomi up front and he’s the one that’s trying to make the extra body
Wolves now pushing onto Aston Villa doing the high press have done really really well broken the Press now here comes Rogers over the halfway line for asille tried to play it early towards OE Watkins but it’s cut out by Max kilman groans from the ason villea fans as
Wolves mop it up once again but then won back by Douglas Luiz Douglas Luiz who played for Brazil over the past fornite gives it into Musa Dei here’s Watkins on side out comes the keeper Douglas Louise the flag goes up I think Watkins was upside initially doulas Louise finishes brilliantly from a tight
Angle hoping it might be his 11th goal of the season but the flag went up vao will check to be sure in real time it felt like Watkins was off as the pass from diabi was playing diabi does so well cuts inside runs at the heart of
The Wolves defense and he just delays the pass Watkins just can’t hold the run so many times do we see Watkins make that run on the shoulder of the defender diabi cuts inside plays the ball into him the goalkeeper comes rushing out makes a really good save tight angle for
Louise who does put the ball in the net but Watkins are just stay offside so the goal doesn’t stand it remains nil nil some finish though from dougas Lise in all of his Premier League goals this season and he’s got nine of them have come here at Villa Park squeezing it in
From a tight angle such power and accuracy combined But ultimately all in vain because not he but olle Watkins had straight off side well that’s the danger that ole Watkins poses isn’t it I mean dii just cuts in off this left hand side and he knows where Watkins is going and
They just doesn’t time his run correctly oy Watkins just holds the pass a little bit too long the Abby now Sarabia pushes it in front of Nelson CA once again down the right hand side he goes within 10 yards now five of the by line hooks it across Sarabia stretching couldn’t quite
Get there he was at full Bel he was trying to elasticate his body he just couldn’t reach to get there and vill play it out with real courage and bravery as Bailey slaloms over a tackle and he’s already up to the half halfway line IUI tries to get back with him
Rogers can’t control it and wolves regained possession once again we’ve played 10 minutes almost exactly and this has been a bright start to the game it promises good things to come for well if it continues like this we’re in for a fantastic afternoon Connor there’s two teams here that neither have set up
Particularly defensively both look to press the ball high both look to win the ball back in key areas both have Forward Thinking intent it’s been a really really good promising start to the game lovely subplots all over the pitch I think a really nice is Ryan URI who as
We know loves to bomb on like a Winger and and can Leon Bailey get in around the back of him or or vice verse so that’s going to be a good tussle here’s chomi the teenager on his Premier League debut he’s got a bit of swagger about
Him doesn’t he as he sort of swerves one way and passes back the other it used to be when teenagers came in they look like school boys remember when Michael Owen made his debut but Chom looks a fully grown adult doesn’t he in 18 years of
Age he does he’s got a great stature about him as well hasn’t He’s Got Confidence about him played in the England youth ranked two caps to the under 18s and as you say scored in the last International break what an opportunity for the youngster a debut
Away at Villa Park well I’m sure the butterflies are pounding on his chest on the inside but on the exterior he’s keeping it all cool is Leon Chom as he waits patiently inside the penalty area hoping that one of his wolves teammates can pick him out here it’s back in the
Center circle with Max kilman kilman rolls it to his left hand side to totty Gomez Gomez who played for Portugal against Sweden last week nearly lost it there to Musa diabi but lamina was in to help out and then a ball from lamina is
Not a good one he tried to give it the outside of the right boot with a curl it became more of a toe pooke and straight through to the Villa goalkeeper Emmy Martinez as to Villa nil wolver haveon wanderous nil on five live really really
Good start to the game you can see Villa they just lost a little bit of confidence here at home lost three of the last four home games after this place had been such a fortress for them at the beginning of the Season there’s one thing with Aston Villa though they
Always seem to score at home very rarely do they bring a blank at Villa Park it’s been a day of goals in the premier League Newcastle and West Ham was a seven goal Thriller Newcastle won up by four goals to three 3-3 between Sheffield United and Fulham 22 between
Chelsea Burnley all the games at multiple goals so far Sask come out of his penalty here he’s got to be careful and he headed it well he was like he was like Tony Adams or someone there jumping on the edge of the penalty area to clearly head the ball away he certainly
Come into an area that you wouldn’t necessarily come into as a goalkeeper he read the through ball extremely well and I think he saw the white line beneath his feet and realized he had to head it quickly Nelson Tomato’s got space down the right hand side cuts in field of
Morgan Rogers who have seen in recent games he looks really good going forward Rogers he’s still a bit of work to do in terms of his defensive duties as sharabia plays the ball forward to Nelson CA once again Moreno got a touch and then he slides and the Spaniard puts
It out for a throw throw into werham to wanders who remain on the attack down the right hand side speaking of goals Villa have conceded multiple goals in each of their last five home games if they were to concede two or more today it would it would set a new unwanted
Club record that has coincided with defensive injuries today with po Torres and Diego Carlos back as a pair it feels like a long time since those two played together yeah defensively solid is what they would want to be today against the wolv side who have come here without
Fear um they’re playing a different system uh pushing the wing backs on causing Villa problems but with Carlos and Torres as a partnership back together and ezri Kono who did so well for England in the international break he’s playing in the right back role again another factor in terms of Villa’s
Defense as the ball goes out for a goal kick away to our right hand side not just the Defenders but buer kamaro who’s got that long-term knee injury now he won’t play again until October John mcin who we know covers so much ground and works so hard for the team he’s not
Involved so extra work to be done in fact mentioning John mcin his beaming smiling faces just come up on the big screens and that’s where the Villa fans are cheering in the background but an extra responsibility on tians and Douglas Louise now in that Midfield engine room in the absence of those
Other players today here is Jo Gomez for w h to wz gives it to Sarabia on the right hand side back into Tommy Doyle back to the center circle and to Max kilman there is another Premier League game to come later on this evening it’s an 8:00 kickoff at the Gtech Community
Stadium brenford will host Manchester United Henry Moran and Mark wton will be there for us on five live as the evening progresses chance here for San dieo Bueno to cross he’s head to the Penalty area right hand side not a bad ball in at all I nuuri what a save from Emy
Martinez he stretched his body wide he got down so low so quickly and you often think goalkeepers want to stay upright that’s an incredible save Paul Robinson Emmy Martinez the World Cup winning goalkeeper showing his quality how did Ryan NRI not score there it’s a brilliant brilliant block by the
Goalkeeper the ball comes into the box it’s crossed right across from everybody in the Aston Villa defense misses it eight nor he goes in round the back from the left wing back position gets a good touch out of his feet but Emmy Martinez he makes the save because
He’s so quick he gets off his line and he spreads his body it’s not necessarily a save it’s a block it’s an incredible block by the goalkeeper his ability to read where the ball’s going to be where the ball lands the pace he leaves his line 8 Nori should score but when you
Look at what the goalkeeper’s done he’s made it so hard for him it’s a fantastic block stunning stun from Emy Martinez that is as point blank as you will get I mean ior he is inside the six-yard Box he’s even got time to have a touch and steady himself and somehow Emmy Martinez
Was able to smother it world class goalkeeping to keep this game at nil nil quarter of an hour played at Phila Park Sarabi is waiting to take the corner referee is having a word with Douglas Louise and L is trying to sop out any pushing and shoving which is probably a
Hope rather than an expectation all kinds of tussling for position as sharabia now hears the whistle raises his right hand as a signal short run up but sends it deep towards the back post kilman gets up well but Martinez after one bounce seizes it into his gloves nil
Nil it remains really good by the Aston Villa goalkeeper and that’s what he’s excellent he’s excellent at his depth perception he’s reading of the through ball and when that ball Dropped In The Box you watch it tonight on Match of the day he leaves his line instantly as soon
As the ball Falls to 8 no’s feet he’s read the situation he’s left his line he’s not gone to make a save he’s just gone to make as hard as he can and it’s a fantastic block that’s been the standout moment of the game so far Emmy
Martinez who was up against his former Club he had a lone spell at wolves backward he was an Arsenal player at the past he only played eight games for them but he he does have wolver Hampton wanders on his CV he’s up against wolves here in Villa colors today both coaches
Out on the edge of the technical area oam’s got a heavy padded coat on more of a hoodie top for Gary O’Neal as a ball is played by po Tores over the top but Alex Moro gave up after it he knew he wasn’t going to get there I like your
Your wardrobe description Conor very good hooded top padded coat not mentioning your bubble hat today as we leave summer if you if you want to get ahead if you want to get ahead get a hat I didn’t realize it was that cold today I don’t did
I it may be coming off in the second half but I just don’t trust it having tried to play some golf this week I don’t like when you look out you think oh it’s a lovely pleasant day and then suddenly from nowhere the showers come I
Got sucked into that this week as well playing golf and it was freezing we’ve all been there no chances taken this is Doyle coming forward for wolves now he’s done really well under pressure from diabi to pick out Ryan iuri in space that’s excellent from Toby do you know
Doesn’t look the biggest and the strongest but he anchored himself into the turf there toy go his position on the halfway line takes the easy option rolls it back in field to Max kilman then Doyle to the right wing again this is the outlet for wolves time and time
Again they’re coming down the right and Sao Burns around Rogers again that’s three or four times he’s done on that plays in across P Tores at the front post has done well Doyle was arriving Rogers a bit better this time then he does a little pouette of a turn now this
Is where you see the best of Rogers coming forward holding off right NRI great strength from Rogers and he’s still going and they eventually fouling well there was about three fouls there Sarabia grabbed on and pulled his shirt back and was taken along for the ride that is stunning from Morgan Rogers the
Strength of determination and even when they tried to foul him it took several attempts for wolves to stop him there several attempts and several players Morgan Rogers there he got the ball he looked like an absolute Bas ring through the middle of the field didn’t he first
He had eight Nori on his back then Sarabia as well both of them at the same time neither could pull his shirt and pull him down the referee could have booked either of them it’s fantastic forward play by Morgan Rogers so I mentioned there’s a few questions about his defensive duty but
You cannot question going forward he looks Premier League standard the player who’s recently joined from Middlesboro well the point you make about his defensive capabilities who saw the the best and worst of him there free kick taken by Douglas Luise picking out Moreno wide in the left tries to cross
Lina did well to get his body in the way and make the block tons who’s had a good week with those goals against England chested down and then gets possession back again from Alex Moreno and pher you can see they’re trying to shake themselves aake here they try to instill
A bit of zip to their play and Douglas Luise will be so disappointed as he sends a pass straight out of play and there’s no doubt Villa are not firing on all cylinders in these opening 20 minutes of the game at Philippi and I think you’ve got to give wolves credit
For that because of the way that they’ve lined up with the three at the back and the five in Midfield Villa is struggling to break the lines like they would normally do pass through the lines the pace that they’ve got with Rogers Bailey either side the wing backs are forcing
Rogers and Bailey the wrong way they don’t want to be going back towards the goal they want to be going forwards towards the opposition’s goal but actually the way that wolves have got the five in Midfield bayy and Rogers are having to think about their defensive responsibilities all square here in the
Premier League let’s go back to the women’s Six Nations mass farooqi and Ashton gate ELO done is England’s fifth try four minutes into the second half doggy persistent stretching Wales out wide but Holly Henson missing the tricky conversion kicks it’s England 29 now Wales 3 very much mass don’t for get two
Premier League games tomorrow both available on five live at 2:00 it’s Liverpool against Brighton at 4:30 it is Manchester City against Arsenal it is a big day in the title race tomorrow with the three contenders all involved tomorrow at 2:30 in BBC 2 you can watch Arsenal against Chelsea in the women’s
League Cup Final and the that is a game you can also listen to on Sports extra here at Villa Park no goals in this 5:30 Premier League kickoff free kick to wolves 10 yards into the Viller half Tommy Doyle takes it Cross Field from right to left lamina has found a bit of
Space because tons have been shoed to the ground kza comes out to close it down puts it out for a throw and Tian squares up to the referee of Paul tii and says hang on how did you not see that I was fouled there he was Furious
Tans and it was right under the referee’s nose as well it was the oldfashioned block that just give lamina that little bit of pace uh space Sorry around the back a free kick that’s clearly well worked with the block that the referee didn’t blow for a foul AF to
Say that Yuri tan had a a slow start to his Villa career but he’s become increasingly a more important player for them now got those two goals against England in midweek for Belgium ronza in a tight right back position here tries to play his way out and Villa do this a
Lot they try to play out and they lose on the edge of the Box this is Tommy Doyle just touchs off the penalty area infield to Sarabia who had a moment to steady himself and he tried to get some Whip and bend on the shot but it’s
Straight at Emmy Martinez who makes the save good intricacy good play by Wolves Tommy doy has been at the heart of a lot of things that wolves have done well another shot on goal another shot on target for wolves shown that they’ve got forward intent again BBC uh won tonight
For match of the day 10:30 with Jason Mohammad in the chair Steven warock and Martin Kona his guests P torres’s possession 15 yards outside the Villa penalty area way to our right hand side he’ll give it back to Diego Carlos hereo caros comes forward until Chom the
Teenage debutant tries to close him down and then he releases the pass to P Torres in the left hand side Torres who scored against wolves when these sides met in October finished 1-1 that was his first ever goal in English football po p Torres both teams scored within 2
Minutes of each other in the second half of that game at mullu earlier in the campaign still on the halfway line with bores to the feet of Morgan Rogers back to Alex Moreno back to it all began with how Torres once more good noise good atmosphere inside vilip ton inside the center
Circle place it to the right hand side to is ronza conza who started at right back against West Ham in Villa’s last League game I was at that game at London Stadium the whole team looked much better in the second half when he moved in to a more central location here is
Moro running into Nelson Sao who makes the challenge and the bers out to play for a throw into wolves right full back position for them back to ashington gate England Wales M farooqi she deserves it for a break in the first half that led to the first try Abid was TouchDown for
England sixth try Wales stretch out wide to the right this time the conversion though once more missed so it’s now England 34 Wales 3 and we’ve only played 49 minutes thanks very much bson C’s attempt to clear away block down by diabi and the ball goes out for another
Throw in to WS it’s a little bit slow from ason Villa um the buildup in possession they’re having good possession without really getting into are dangerous areas to to hurt wolves they look a bit La lacking in confidence in possession like they’ve got the ball now Midfield and L Douglas Lou’s first
Option is to go backwards and sidewards rather than the Forward Thinking wolves are just frustrating them at the moment wolves who’ve had a good record here at at Villa Park they tend to to keep some of their better performances for these West Midland Derby hon Villa who started
The day fourth place in the Premier League table increasingly looking like fifth might be good enough for that Champions League spot but would lva a top four finish this season but there is work to do to ensure that that does happen with Tottenham Manchester United
Below them here is a ball over the top L for Alex Moro too far and again that final pass isn’t quite sticking for unai emer’s team so far in the 24 minutes we’ve had here today yeah and I think you might just find that a certain top
Have just snuck above them today before kickoff so I mean that that’s another added pressure for Villa because it’s an unexpected Champions League run obviously a title challenge at the start the season for Villa um but they are now serious contenders for those two Champions League places that we could
Potentially have uh as as a country and and Tottenham and Villa are certainly in the driving seat for those Villa well clear of Manchester United at the moment but obviously they they’ve hit a little bit of a sticky patch in form where they’ve allowed Tottenham now to to
Overtake them should they win today they go back to Fourth and and those two positions fourth and fifth do look like they’re going to be enough to who came from behind at home to beat Luton toown today by two goals to one here comes conser for Villa Midway into wolves
Territory plays it into the penalty area towards oi W godkin who’s not seen too much of the ball so far today in these 25 minutes we’ve played at Villa Park tons gives it back to Diego Carlos Villa trying to keep it alive but wolves are working hard out of possession limiting
The opportunities Douglas Luise again forced back to PO Torres and Villa are back to the halfway line a really good point you make Conor wolves are working extremely hard out of possession you can see how structurally defensive that they are as soon as they lose possession they
Retreat back into formation I mean the youngster now chomi he’s defending in front of his Midfield halfway inside his own half here’s a good ball Rogers to Moreno off balance catches the cross all wrong sails over the top and bounces out for a goal kick just that efficiency
That that clinical Edge that Villa had for so much of the early part of this campaign they are digging deep trying to find it here Chom It just strikes me he’s actually quite similar in a to W Watkins isn’t he when Watkins was younger he had hair similar to to Leon
Chom mind you Chom now looks like he’s older brother he’s he’s a bit taller the 18yearold but uh mean I I always love this when we see a player that we’ve not seen before I know I know wolves players saw him briefly off the bench in the FA
Cup but this is Premier League debut you I always think you know this could be the next big thing this could be the new most you know not to a pressure on him individually but who whenever you get this young kid coming through you always think maybe just maybe well Gary O’Neal
Obviously thinks something of him I mean he played Nathan Fraser in the last game he’s got a problem in this area without Netto without hang without COA and he you know he’s given an opportunity Chom at 18 I mean it’s it’s fantastic to see and as I say the manager clearly sees
That he’s got a lot of faith in him throw in for wol still nil nil at Philip Park I Nuri takes his time and eventually when the ball is put onto the field of play Diego kis is able to head it away back towards IDI in a Tang with
Leon Bailey Bailey fouls him free kick to wolves Leon Bailey who didn’t go on International Duty over the past fortnite with Jamaica there was some disciplinary issue there Here Comes Santiago Bueno over the halfway line for wolves rolling it short to Pablo Sarabia right up against the sideline he’ll hook
It in towards the youngster Chom P Tores was marshalling him pH get it back now can they spring a Counterattack Watkins to Moreno accelerating over the halfway line the pass in field is behind Rogers but Viller fortunate it runs into diabi then a great ball to Watkins he’s in
Holly Watkins off the post and into the side nettic huge chance for ason Villa that was more like it for munai emer’s team turning defense into attack and if they would have wanted that chance to fall to any of their team it would have been OE Watkins but he’s not able to hit
The target it was incredible Vision by Tans it was Scrappy in Midfield by Villa there was a couple of misplaced passes a couple of challenges the ball bubbled about but as soon as it broke to Tans Watkins was on his bike he was on his
Way Tans looked up he saw the run from Watkins in perfect pass into his path but Santiago Bueno does so well stands up with the Englishman with the English striker pushes him wide and Watkins gets a strike but it just hits the outside of the post really good defending by Bueno
High definition chances for both teams now II denied Point Blank Range one-on-one by Emmy Martinez down the other end and oie Watkins who was probably only maybe nine yards out when he struck that into to the side netting missing by a narrow margin Douglas Luiz is challenged well by Jo Gomez on the
Edge of the penalty area and the there is Yelps and hollers that they wanted a free kick there as but the referee PA tiedy who was right beside that said no and wolves to clear away and poar is put under pressure by Sarabia Sarabia wins
The ball off him but he can’t keep it in play and out it goes for a throw in to ailla just mentioning Joe Gomez there been impressed with him this season and he made his International debut for Brazil against England last weekend he then kept his place on the team played
Against Spain in midweek as well he looks to be quite a talent that wolves have found in ch Gomez absolutely I think um he’s had an excellent season and the way that he anchors that middle of Midfield there’s a lot of the the ball goes through them when they’re
Keeping the ball trying to break the lines Here Comes Watkins he’s getting more and more involved now and that’s a wonderful pass to Moreno in the pedal the area Clips it back in but there’s no one at the back post there was three teammates who were all in a central
Position directly in front of the goal Moreno’s put too much in his delivery sent it to the back post and wolsk could clear away it’s a bad choice Connor it really is it’s a poor it’s a poor delivering it’s a poor choice he gets the ball in a great position down this
Left hand side Moreno he’s got all the Time in the World to deliver a cross he does it on the half volley all his teammates have run into the center of the six-yard box he lifts it to the far post and there’s nobody there it’s a poor decision and it’s a poor execution
Yellow card shown to Yori tians there who committed a foul on Ryan I Nuri as wolves were trying to clear away and he joins Pablo Sarabi as the two players who’ve been shown yellow cards in this first half half an hour played at Vila Park it’s been high Pace it’s had
Chances but no goals yet you know I’ve so enjoyed watching V this season I think it’ been brilliant to watch but that the final ball has not been good today maybe hasn’t been up to scratch for a few weeks now let’s see what they can do here is tons has it inside the
Center circle rolls it short to P Tores with the yellow and orange boots Moreno back to P Tores once again back near the halfway line and wolves with 11 players back behind the ball few clouds creep in to block the clear blue sky above but still plenty daylight in this 530 kickoff in
Birmingham Diego caros has it inside the center circle now and he rolls it to the right hand side to ezri kza Midway into wolves territory now into tons that’s a good ball to the feet of Douglas Luiz who tries to turn away from Sarabia but chose too much of it to kilman referee
Is allowing play to continue because wolves still have possession there might have been a foul on kilman there Nelson SEO who’s uh who’s had his oats this morning he’s full of energy as he catches away down the right but Rogers whose influence in the game is growing
All the time tracks him back this time and makes the tackle on the halfway line looking at The Possession stats they they’re coming out very very even at the moment but you just get the feeling that Aston villea are just starting to dominate this game with the possession
With the way that they are with the the ball at the back keeping the ball they’re just having that little bit more possession than wolves Here Comes Leon Bailey attacking down the right hand side for Viller gets to the by line I norri tracking him all the way tackles
It out for a corner been looking forward to this battle the Ryan URI versus Leon Bailey Sprint race and on that occasion they came to the ball neck and neck of the by line and night Nory puts it out for this corner yeah Bailey going forward this time forcing eight Nori
Back which hasn’t been the case most of the first half but now Villa just getting on top with Bailey and roders pushing their fullbacks back into an area that suits Villa the corner is going to be taken by Leon Bailey this is right hand side of the pitch as Villa come forward they’re
Playing right to left as we look down in the claran blue it’s taken short to Douglas Luise back to Leon Bailey and then from a better angle he tried to quip it in with an in swing too many defenders in the way though the ball is headed out to Yuri Ton’s Midway inside
Wiam to wander his territory good Cross Field ball back out to Bailey again on the right hand side headed by P Tes is save by josea brilliant cross from Bailey little flash of a header from P Tores didn’t quite get enough on it needed a little bit more purchese and
Now with Villa having committed players forward wolves come to try and hit them down the other end sarabia’s ball into the penalty area lamina tried to go for a full-on volley on the edge of the box and he nearly connected with the two it’s charged down by diabi as
Rogers clenches his muscles once again look at him go pass lamina again fouled against sh no referee says it’s a fair tackle This Time by Joe Gomez constant and Philip park for the home supporters feel that there was a foul on Morgan Rogers there he’s been great to watch
With the ball at his feet in this first half in a game that remains nil nil he looks so strong going forward his first thought is to look up see the space break into the space and try and make something happen V have had a good possession but Morgan Rogers is the one
He’s trying to make something happening in possession he tries to get past his marker and he does and he’s done it two or three times and when he’s done that he looks really effective here’s a chance for wolvves a race Moreno can he get there ahead Nelson C know C gets a
Touch but good recovery by Alex moredo his sliding tackle isn’t going to leave the field of play Sarabia has kept it infield by the quarter flag and he’ll roll it back to Tommy Doyle so wolves have possession inside the ASA Villa half we go back to Ash gate for an
Update on England against Wales and the women’s Six Nations well Wales had a converted try Kiera Bavon taking the free quickly England caught napping she scampered under the post the conversion was good as well but England have resp responded straight away Rosie cigan down the other end conversion to come for
England so at the moment it is 3910 in England’s favor thanks very much to M farooqi here at Philip Park Nelson C delivering across on the right hand side but he did it from an offside position and that is a free kick to Aston Villa just over 10 minutes of
Normal time to go until the break Paul Robinson well it’s been brilliant hasn’t it I mean we’ve seen a really really good game of football going back to that earlier there that wolves broke on Villa Villa lost possession Tan’s fired a fantastic ball out to Bailey who had
Just taken the corner he whips across in and Torres gets a decent header on it back across the goalkeeper should probably do better with it it’s a great ball in by Bailey but again it’s Tan’s his vision he’s he’s very very clever he
Looks up he can see a pass he can pick a pass that could be the difference for Villa today if you’re just joining your coverage Villa two big chances W Watkins off the post into the side deing and that headed from pal Torres is Villa WI
A free kick for a fou and dougas Luise yard outside the penalty area down the other end best chance of the game has been for wolves Ryan II somehow denied by a brilliant block from The ason Villa Captain today Emmy Martinez Silla have this free kick again it’s outside of
Shooting range but Douglas Luis is standing over it and there are options here to try and create filla whove lost three of the last four premier league home games want to make an impact here but still nil nil with halime approaching he had the feel of a local Derby wolves fans have
Enjoyed that their team have had so much of the ball so far right here comes togus Luise tries to dink it towards Bailey rehearsed move on the left hand side pulled it back here’s diabi 1 n ailla and the rehearsed move on the training ground pays the dividends for unai emer’s team Douglas
Lise didn’t play it into the box he played it out side to the left hand side and the diab’s delivery didn’t go into the six-yard box it came to the edge of the penalty area where it was all rehearse where musabi was where he needed to be and that’s a brilliant
Finish for him his seventh goal for Aston Villa and it is ailla one wol hton wanderous nil ahead of halim brilliantly worked goal absolutely brilliant finish as well from diby it’s fantastic from Villa straight from the training ground so much emphasis he’s put on set plays
And play coaches and the work that goes in it’s a reverse free kick to the left hand side but comes to Bailey puts it into dii it’s a great finish but the goalkeeper should do better his defender on the line it gets in his way the Arby
Hits it he hits it well but when you’re looking at the replay now Jose S diving to his left one of his Center halves is on his line whether he gets in his way whether he gets in his line of vision it’s a brilliant free kick it’s a great
Strike but the goalkeeper should do so much better Mo to the Abby as to Club record signing scores a very important goal in the race for the top four for today he’d only got one goal in his last 18 Premier League appearances this was due for the Frenchman who
Represented his country against Chile last week and that has changed the mood around here this hasn’t been a perfect performance from Aston Villa but they lead with halftime almost toal it’s a brilliant set play a really really well executed set play theyve put all the
Bodies in the center of the 18 ydd box Bailey’s pulled out to the left reversed the ball out to him everyone’s piled into the sixy box the Arby stayed out he reversed it back to di on the edge of the box and it’s everything that unai
Emry will have worked on with his staff it’s straight from the training ground perfectly executed it was very well taken and here’s the B it was at the beginning of it dougas louiz playing it in looking for oy Watkins this time too close to J
Who was able to make the save I just wonder you know Connor if that took a deflection on its way in because that’s seem to elude Jose S far too easily when the ball hit the back of the net we didn’t see the ball hit the top Corner
We didn’t see it hit the side netting it actually hit the middle of the goal and from where the Aris Struck it you would expect the goalkeeper to save it which is why on initial thought you think the goalkeeper’s got to do better somebody’s either interfered with him or it may
Have taken a slight deflection I don’t think it was a deflection it may have been an interference if not the goalkeeper does have to do better that’s the big moment of the game it’s the goal that separates the teams everything about it was rehearsed even as douas
Luiz ran up to to hit the ball initially he sort of did this dummy run as if oh no hang on a like I’m going to do it again but then he played it and it was all corra with the Run of of Bailey into the penalty area pulled back for diabi
And uh as uh as Paul has been illustrating the goalkeeper will be disappointed not to have done a bit better but Villa will be delighted that they have taken the lead in a game that wolves have looked very dangerous in free kick to asille on the halfway line
Douglas Luiz takes it quickly to Yuri OS pass over to the right hand side where ezri konzo up from right back he hoisted into the middle just too high for Bailey and Max kilman anywhere will do as he hammers it clear all of a sudden V just
Seem to have taken a strangle hold of this game don’t they thean wolves are now they just cleared it there Max kilman it was a kick and hope downfield one of the ones that you see when a team are holding on they’re now sitting very very deep they just seemed to taken this
Game by the scrip of the neck that’s exactly it we mentioned the the misplaced passes the crosses that were overcooked but they got it right for the goal and now ason Villa have a platform here to build as they look to overtake Tottenham once again after tottenham’s
Win at home to Luton to move into the top four earlier on today great noise around Philip park now home fans enjoying that they are leading against one of their near neighbors Moreno gives it back to PO Torres and this task for wolves has just got a little bit more
Difficult now Diego caros ins inside the center circle he’s not played much in fact he’s he’s only appearance in the last five Premier League games before today for Diego Carlos was in that surprised 4-nil defeat to Tottenham here but he’s back in today alongside po Torres as I norri
Is challenge for the ball and it’s gone out of play for what could have been a throw but it’s actually been given as a free kick ahead of that free kick to wolves near the halfway line more reaction to the days earlier Premier League games at Hal timee here from M
The football daily podcast in your devices from tomorrow morning the best reaction to an analysis of the weekend’s football don’t forget my matate of footballer as well Patrick bford gives Jo Wilkinson a tour around Leeds United’s training crowd as the pair build up to Joe’s big free kick
Challenge in front of the lead Squad and several other five live podcasts available at the moment from BBC sounds toy Gomez has the ball Midway inside the Wolves half he’s triying to give the long ball towards Nelson Sam that was happening with ease early run of the match but now that they’re behind
Suddenly everything is proving more difficult for wolves and that was nowhere near its Target they’ve just taken a little bit of a knock of wolves they’re just sitting deep allowing Aston Villa possession and passes that were finding their target earlier that they’re not happening with with as much
Fluidity and as much normality as they were at the beginning of the game Viller really have the since the goal they’ve grown in confidence and they’ve taken control of this game wolves are going to have to regroup they’ve started the game very well they give a really good
Account the self in the first 20 25 minutes until Aston Villa scored but it looked almost like that’s the game plan out the window what do we do now they need to get in at halim and Gary O’Neal needs to speak to his side twice this
Season wolves have come from behind in a Premier League game to win but only once this campaign of villa ended up losing having had the lead in the match 1-0 to Aston Villa the go from Musa diabi as we go back to Ashton gate for another update on England against Wales in the
Women’s Six Nations mat an eighth try for the red roses is Connor a second for Ellie kill done she’s got two against Italy last week she’s got two today such strength to power through two Welles players and touchdown on the corner again though the conversion is missed it
England 46 Wales 10 66 minutes played now here comes P Tes for ASA tries to play a ball through the Wolves Midfield kilman slides down to get a top by sorry that was Joe Gomez Who’s uh made the interception there and wolves regain possession they’ll roll it back to the
Goalkeeper Jose sa sa Waits until what can Sprints right in on top of him before clearing and the Philip fansy enjoy that because it’s not a great clearance it’s gone straight to ezri conza wolves get it back immediately iuri left fullback position Bailey breathing down oh what’s he done here
Iuri he’s lashed it across the penalty area Nelson CA deserves a meddle if he keeps this in and he does he’s kept it in play by heading it he spilled off the pitch and then he ran back and that’s really good I mean it’s not worth the
Tuck but wolves did really well to get the ball away there this is Douglas Luis just inside Wolverhampton wand’s Terr doy pushing into the back of him and he’s hurt himself here Douglas Lise and he’s w a free kick for his trouble a clip on the back of his ankle free kick
To Villa just inside their opponent’s half just over a minute to go to the break Tommy do just catches Douglas Lise there he’s just trying to get a reaction from his team he’s he’s looking around now talking to his teammates talking to SEO they’ve got a little bit flat
Wolves Here Comes stabi The Villa goal scorer but lamina is there to win it off him good strength from Mario lamina and he picks got a pass to Sarabi on the right hand side wolves are still inside their own half Nelson Sao makes himself available low ball into the feet of CHA
Gomez back out to Sarabi on the right wing cha Gomez tries a little fck to go past his fellow Brazilian Douglas Luiz who stands up to it and chooes runs into him and the referee has given the free kick to wolves a little bit of rest bite for
Wolves enjoyed a little bit of possession now they’ve got the ball before halftime keep it back now trying to move it move it about move these Aston Villa players trying to get through here’s Doyle inside the center circle wolves a goal behind at pH Park and they pass to Nelson subo just behind
Him he tried to react the Portuguese International but he couldn’t keep the ball in play frustrated there Gary O’Neil you saw the disappointment because he he knows what he can get from his team his team have given him a performance for the first 30 35 minutes he’s just a little bit disappointed with
The way that they are now misplaced passes lack of possession and just that incident there you could see him in the touch line it’s it’s unlike him to be so animated fourth official has got the board out any moment now we will see what will be added on for stoppages at
The end of this first half chances at both ends but it’s Villa who lead here comes kza over the halfway line on the right hand side picks out a pass to Leon Bailey good accuracy about that and he keeps it going towards Watkins on the edge of the Box good defending by
Santiago Bueno and then I nuuri with a big bushy beard runs into another bearded opponent in douas Luise who wins it off him and vill winning those 50/50 batt now Rogers tries a fancy trick in the penalty area he was trying to back heal a return pass to Douglas Luiz that
Was very complicated and the pass expi but it was a good idea in all fairness to Morgan Rogers and he smiles as he waves an arm of apology to Douglas Louise the first to everything at the moment Aston Villa they’re winning all the second balls they’re winning all the
Tackles and that’s just giving them the edge now goals change games it is very much change this into Aster Villa’s favor we move into stoppages of which there are two additional minutes to be added on here filler whove only dropped three points from winning positions this season that’s the best record of all
Premier League teams this campaign usually when they get their noses in front they know how to hang on to it can wolves get a second wind in this second per it’s difficult with so many First Choice attackers ined the youngster who we’ve been praising Leon chuom he’s been full of endeavor full of
Effort but can they rely on that to continue for the full 90 minutes as Villa come again kza eating up the ground bearing down to the Penalty area tried to go for a shot on his left foot his less favored Boot and that was speculative to say the least he never
Looked once it was on the left boot you never thought that was going in it’s worldwide of the target it landed near us Conor the near the goal I mean it was it was a good run by kza and the the Wolves back four back five just dropped
And dropped they were more worried about the players that were in front of them Bailey dii Watkins thinking that kza was going to play one of those in ends up kza 22 23 yards from goal opens up on his left foot and yeah less said about
That the better yeah not one of it as more natural goal scorer as Ezra coner it was two years ago that he got his most recent goal against Leicester but such as the mood such as the confidence you can see why he took
It on H and Villa if they were to get a second here half ahead of Hal time then you really would worry for wolves prospects of a comeback in the second half that looked like a foul throw by totty Gomez the officials are happy with
It here is Dr SL pushing the ball in front of diabi bearing down to the Penalty Moreno’s made a great run diabi waited and waited and in the end took his eye off the ball he was trying to be so precise waiting for the Run of Moreno
That he he forgot the first rule of football which is you must connect your foot with the ball and wolves were relieved to win it on the edge of the penalty area there’s the whistle for the braak Fantastic description Conor perfect he was trying to be too perfect
Great run by Moreno and and diabi just got it all wrong right there’s the break the cast of thousand the hordes of all the back room staff and Technical people and analysts and coaches and physios and Medics and Subs they all make their way down in front of us towards the corner
Tunnel here at Villa Park it’s been an entertaining first half in which wolves really should have taken the lead Ryan out nuuri who has scored in each of his last two games should have made it three but denied by Emmy Martinez Aston Villa did score with a well-worked rehearsed
Free kick move finished off by Musa ABI and in half time at Villa Park it is Aston Villa one wolves NE if it stays like this Villa are moving back up into the top four tonight yes looking at the Premier League table right now as it

Much of a boost is it what’s happened today it’s um it’s the realization of our reality now that we had the decision we felt it we am I to say that is fair or unfair but the reality is that they took four points away from us for point
That we achieve in the in the pitch so it’s always hard for the players to bounce back from such a difficult moment but we showed today that we did it we did it because we believe with the quality and the talent that we have with the organization that we have we’re
Going to go out of there so today was the first step to do it Chris Wood is on a a fine run of form it’s a beautifully taken goal but beautifully created goal as well I think say I think the connection was good Morgan and chis as
Long as chis is healthy and he’s on the pitch it’s always so so good for us um and he’s delivering and we expect and we rely on him how do you feel about the rest of the season does this give you confidence today’s performance today’s
Result we go game by game we go game by game we cannot uh get distracted about anything else ignore the noise focus on the on the next one and the next one is full and a tough one Tottenham today left it late to beat Luton son scored
The winner for them four minutes from time here’s the Tottenham boss an POA cogo it’s a game we probably should have made easier for ourselves played well enough created a back full of chances uh but you know um these games you know everyone’s fighting for something and
You know luden we going to Li down for us and um yeah we had to earn the win and uh thought we did that you look really strong right at the start of the second half it sounds like a cliche but was there anything in particular at
Halim that you focused on no not really um you know we we we kind of know we’re going to finish strong in most games um you know we we work hard we’re a fit side and uh just a matter of staying patient but to do that you still need
Start strong strong second half and look we had chances in the first half to to sort of you know put some real pressure go goals uh pressure on them but um I thought the reaction was good no teams ever want to fall behind but I think now
The last four wins you’ve had here have all been after you’ve gone behind so when you ConEd there’s never any Panic is there because you know that you can go out and still turn it around yeah I think that’s that’s important um yeah I was disappointed with the goal we
Considered today I thought it was preventable but again you’re looking for a reaction and and like I said this time of the year there’s a bit of anxiety around the place um with every Club you know because you know every win’s so important so I thought for the most part
The boys um sort of kept calm heads and just keep playing their football son is now outright fifth in the list of Tottenham hot spur scores I know today it’s all about getting the result but when you reflect on that what an achievement what a player for the club
Yeah outstanding um and keeps delivering you know and uh you know he had a couple of good chances today he was a bit unlucky with a couple um but you know when we needed him again he’s in there and he scores the goal for us um you
He’s been a he’s been a great played for this club for a long time and long may continue an Posta cogo talking to Mark Scott Tottenham 2 Lon 1 the defeat leaves Luton in the relegation Zone behind Nottingham Forest on goal difference after Forest got their point against Crystal Palace the Luton boss
Rob Edwards has also been speaking to Mark well Rob I’m sure you’re sick of people saying You must be entire completely proud of the effort and commitment that you’ve put in and again same old story today cuz you’ve come away with nothing after some performance yeah look it’s difficult at the best of
Times coming here and obviously we’re up against it now with with with the Personnel missing and then losing two of our Defenders again today during the game it was difficult the players gave everything you know the plan was good players were fully committed brilliant goal that we scored to put ourselves in
A great position Tottenham always going to come back disappointed with the goals that we conceded clearly know we could have been better um a couple of moments defended their own goal better and and then they score from a counter attack from our own set piece um which is is
Very frustrating I I know they had some chances and we had some great blocks and and defended well you’re going to have to do that here everyone has to do that here against them the way they play so yeah difficult um the bit that gives me belief and confidence there is how
Competitive we’ve been with all the problems that we’ve got at the moment with against the top team they’re brilliant and um the players are completely with it supporters are completely with it that’s what gives me belief all the Premier League highlights match the day tonight half1 on BBC 1
Bottom of the table Sheffield United would deny what would have been a crucial victory for them they blew a 3-1 lead at home to Fulham Rodrigo mun scored the visitors equalizer in the 93rd minute here’s Chris Wilder on a wild afternoon he’s been speaking to Betty Glover Chris what is your
Assessment of that don’t think the team could have given anymore especially second half um when after the game it was a pretty um slow start from us I think with the history that we’ve had in terms of uh our previous home games is important that you know first base was reached
Which was a clean sheet at half time um we weren’t the most adventurous of teams first half um so I understood the attitude of the players as well as our attitude towards the game because of who we’re playing as well you know full of an outstanding side with the players
That they’ve got um so they have dominated the ball yeah of course but we gave ourselves a foothold to get some out of the game and then second half obviously we we we grew in belief scored a couple of goals um and we thought we were on our way to a valuable
Valuable three points but um I think you know when no disrespect to to maybe from the substitutions point of view where we’re at at the moment um in terms of a depleted Squad and a stretch Squad and you look you know you look yeah again look at the players that they’re they’re
Bringing on you know trior imz T was an international you know Tom keny was a fantastic player Bobby diod over Reed so they had that ability just to just to give themselves an extra push and we were just obviously on our on our um on our back foot through that through that
Period I think a massive moment was obviously you know the fourth goal I’m I’m sure that if we have got that fourth goal then then maybe Delight with the attitude uh the performance was good second half obviously the result it’s a it’s a difficult one to take Sheffield
United remain bottom of the Premier League table 15 points so seven points behind Nottingham Forest and Luton three points behind Burnley they have a game in hand on all of those teams above them though halim at Villa Park we’re back there shortly for second commentary of Aston Villa against wolves it’s Villa 1

Taken you to get from St james’ Park to wherever you are now sort of Reflections on it what what do you think the West Ham fans are going to be calling in and saying well both both sets of fans actually this evening yeah well well I
Think with regard to to West Ham there um and their fans there’s an element of West Ham fans who just are not having David Moyes I thought that you know they They Carried a threat up until Antonio uh went off and then I thought the game changed Calvin Phillips I mean if you
Feel for him he came on and had a bit of a stinker uh but they you know snatched the feet from the jaws of Victory didn’t they From newcastle’s perspective difficult season but Eddie Harry has to be at the helm next season you know they they overachieved last season this
Season hasn’t quite happened but they are so so watchable so I want to hear from Newcastle fans and then you look at the bottom of the table uh Bruce do you know what I’d written Burnley off totally written them off said they were down but they’ve got a chance haven’t
They and then you look at you know Forest important point for them Everton no wins in 12 let’s hear from everan fans and Luton fans do you still believe 08085 99 693 I still know the number Chris and you’ve done it for me fantastic Chris and Robbie on the way
With 606 after the second half of villa against wall there’s another game in the Premier League tonight kicks off at 8:00 brenford at home to Manchester United the home team have only taken 10 points from the last 18 League games they are now very much looking over their
Shoulders at the bottom three Manchester United hoping to keep within touching distance of Tottenham and Villa in the race for Champions League football that’s how it’s set up tonight Henry Moran is there good evening yes Manchester United arrive in town still with the glow of that thrilling FA Cup
Win over Rivals Liverpool it’s a win that should bu time for Eric ten harjung and otherwise frustrating season as things stand 12 points to make up to Villa in fourth Champions League football looking an increasingly remote Prospect they could well come back L Sandro Martinez tonight a first appearance potentially for him since
February brenford their relegation concerns are growing that two undefeat to Burnley last time before the break means it’s 10 points from their last 18 as you say no side in the top flight has fewer and they’re just four points above the bottom three uh Manchester City have
Moved three points clear at the top of the WSL by beating Liverpool 4-1 Chelsea have a game in hand though Chelsea play Arsenal in the League Cup final tomorrow commentary of that on Sports extra from 2:45 meanwhile the Manchester City and England goalkeeper Ellie robuk has revealed tonight that she’s been
Recovering from a stroke she says she’s recuperating with the club and has suffered no lasting damage uh we wish her well we all here at five live wish her well of course full-time in the women Six Nations uh England Wales at Ashton gate Mas farooqi and another bonus Point win for the defending
Champion in the Six Nations alley seven different scorers of England’s eight tries today Kiera Bon did TouchDown for Wales in the second half though and they deserve that score but it was a professional performance from England and crucially there were no cards shown to Red Rose’s players and that was
Certainly pleased John Mitchell who’s applauding behind me England have beaten Wales 4610 here at Ashton gate thank you m so brenford Manchester United uh kicks off at 8:00 tonight as we were saying Manchester United’s trying to stay in touch with Tottenham and Aston villa villa currently occupying fourth spot
They lead wolves 1 nil at halftime at Villa Park Here Comes second half commentary in the company of the former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson and Conor magnamar thanks very much Alistair the reemergence from the tunnel of the Aston Villa team leading this game thanks to Musa di Abi’s goal around
About 9 minutes before halftime wolves have shown plenty of proof that they might have a call in them it’ll be interesting to see how this second half settles down we are going to have one interesting alteration to the lineups because Villa are making a change in Attack the Colombian John Jan is coming
On and it’s Ole Watkins who makes way for him Paul Robinson well you can only think that OE Watkins has picked up a knock in the first half can’t you I mean he’s had a couple of really good chances playing on the shoulder he’s looked sharp he’s looked quick but saying that
His chances came early on in the first half we didn’t see him pick up a knock we didn’t see him pick up an injury but there’s obviously some going a Miss because you don’t take your top scor off at halim seven goals in his last eight Premier League games for Ole Watkins but
It will be John Duran and Musa diabi now who lead the Villa attack in the second half might that be a little bit of a plot twist to how this game is going to run out Villa who tend to concede far more goals in the second half of their
Games two-thirds of the goals they’ve conceded in the Premier League this season have been after the break that’s the highest percentage of all teams in the Top Flight this season and maybe wolves will will see that as something that they can get at as Bailey tries to
Go around dri they’ve had a wonderful tangle all afternoon and this time iuri fouls Leon Bailey the first free kick of the second half is for Aston Villa on the right hand side be interesting to see how it affects Aston Villa’s dynamic because they finished the first half so
Strongly they were dominating the game dominating possession and with OE Watkins going off you think it’s just a like for likee substitution there doesn’t seem to be a formation change it’ll be deby playing off John Duran belatedly out of the tunnel comes unai Amry is one of the the last figures to
Reemerge he’s now taken his seat in the technical area he’s had a little word with zaniolo and he seems to be telling the Italian to go for a a warm-up run here comes the free kick Douglas Lise leaves it for Leon I’m going to tell you
About this in a minute that was a very strange free kick Bailey plays a good ball into the penalty area and the headed just off Target from Diego Carlos who stormed in on Mark to the back post stretch and just couldn’t get it On Target now what they’ve done there Paul
I believe and I’ve seen teams do this didn’t Blackburn famously do it years ago Morton Gams ptis they’ve tried to K us on haven’t they Conor they tried to make kid us on that was your team you were in that team yes forgot so what
What he’s done is he’s put his as if he’s could of ran over the ball and actually touched it but trying to make it look like he hasn’t and then Bailey was going to be able to run and dribble it but he sort of made a mess of it
Didn’t he took it easy he need that one needs more work in the training ground well it’s another one straight from the trading ground but I think the idea was to make it look like he’d made a mess of it and both run back towards the ball
But he did actually make a mess of it with back the ball double what what’s the word I’m looking for not Double Jeopardy double uh oh God what’s the I can come to me in a minute but basically yeah they’ve out foxed themselves by trying to O out Fox at the opponents
Funny well it was a good free kick routine that led to the Villa call in the first half let’s just say that other one needs work but yes you’re right that was it was Morton Gams pedison and you’re a Blackburn team I I’m sure sure many of our listeners will remember that
As here’s a chance down there Chom to the Penalty area Mar it as bravely comes out and Dives At His Feet it’s a similar move that we’ve seen many do on on the corner quadrant haven’t we we’ve seen players just roll the foot over it take
Out the quadrant bad ball by tons in the Midfield I Nori picks it up for wolves and then he’s got a bad touch on the edge of the penalty area TI is able to rectify his mistake made a poor pass but then made a great tackle to Wi it back
Again and what a pass that is from tilwood to set Bailey away down the right hand side totte K is the Defender he’s been turned inside out Bailey’s shot is wild however and he skews it away into the philli fans behind the goal but this game is picked up just for
It left off in the first half everything’s 100 miles an hour into to end and that’s a threat that Viller have got with Bailey whenever he’s on the pitch Tans Bailey doesn’t even look up he just puts his head down and runs and he knows that telan has got the quality
To find him get in behind his fullback cuts inside really well as you say makes a mess of his shot but that’s the threat that they’ve got on the Counterattack one ball like that and he’s through you actually came up in my uh my prep for this game Paul just speaking back of
Your Blackburn days your name um emerged when I was researching this game uh the last 22 Premier League penalties that wolves have taken they have scored them all the last time they didn’t score one was when Kevin Doyle had a penalty against Blackburn that was saved by Paul
Robinson I thought I thought there was a punch line coming that I didn’t play that would have been very fun Brad Friel this is Tommy Doyle that’s a good ball in front of Nelson SEO who time and time again is getting space to come forward from this right wing back
Position Moreno’s forced to backpedal here Rogers belatedly getting back there too pour ball in from Nelson C though and easily cleared Away by Diego Carlos wolves have got the body language to suggest they believe this is not over yet and and promising youngster that John Duran is and he scored against Ajax
A couple of games ago but he’s no only Watkins in terms of PR’s reputation in terms of goals scored this season and maybe this is something that wolves are grasping onto his ja KES makes a good run towards the edge of the area and he’s fouled by Alex Moreno and that was
A little bit unnecessary by Alex Moreno because Joo Gomez had kind of run out of steam he had veered away from running towards goal when he was pushed by the Spanish left back but it’s given a free kick to wolves in what is a lethal
Position this is the edge of the D of the penalty area wolves wouldn’t want a free kick anywhere else than this definite shooting opportunity to test Emmy Martinez he’s very clever there Xiao Gomez he’s running across the edge of the 18 yard box and he just seizes
Opportunity with Moreno he as you say he’s running out of steam he’s almost overrun the ball but he runs in front of Moreno and he gives him no chance but clipping him and it’s a fantastic opportunity for wolves right inside the day on the edge of the 18 Yard Box 606
Coming with Robbie and Chris later on your chance to get on the airwaves and discuss today’s footballing news up and down the land at the moment Viller moving back to the top four if it stays like this but still still work to be done and this is wolves most dangerous
Opportunity of the second period wolves had a great chance of the first half when I nurri was denied by Martinez can they make this one count Sarabia and Doyle are standing over it Doyle the right footed option Sarabia left footed option sarabia’s got three goals in the Premier League this season there’s a
Draft excluder lying on the ground it’s it’s Alex Maro it’s probably punishment for giving away the free kick that he’s been giving the uh the rather unglamorous role of lying on the ground behind his teammates in the Wall Paul TI has been very pedantic and War lining
That wall up where it needs to be will it be Doyle will it be Sarabia it’s Sarabia it’s over the wall and it’s over the crossbar to the cheers of the aster Villa fans this game remains Villa one WS nil just couldn’t get it up and down
You can see what he’s trying to do with his left foot but it was a big wall when you look at Aston Villa you look at the size of the wall and they all jump because of that draft excluded they make it very very diff difficult for Sarabia
To get the ball up and down get it up but it don’t think it’s come down yet this is Martinez with the ball at his feet away to our left hand side Villa playing from left to right in this second period in their clar and blue
Wolves in the old gold Rogers has lost it again the edge of his own penalty area been great going forward Rogers he looks a bit of a liability in defense and then Doyle’s pass which was intended for Lina is everever so slightly behind him tiny margin and a thumbs up between
Both players that that was the right idea if not quite the perfect execution we’ve played s minutes of the second half Villa one wolves nil decent start by Goo Neils man he’s just on our screens now talking to his assistant he’s obviously said at halim look was
Still very very much in this game against the fragile Aston Villa side who have suffered defeats here at home we started the game very very well we need to start the second half the way we did the first and that’s what they’ve come out and
Done 1 n to Aston Villa Alex Mareno has possession far side of the field from us the left is Villa defend than to Villa who only had one shot in Target in the last home game here that was the the heavy defeated to Tottenham feels like Villa might need a second goal here to just ease the concerns of of a wolves comeback Diego caros his possession 10 yards outside his own penalty area the Brazilian rolls it back to the Argentinian goalkeeper and 18-year-old Leon Chom in the midst of all this doing little
Shuttle runs between the all the energy of Youth as he’s he’s happy to Sprint from one to the other back again and Tred to make life uncomfortable from Villa bringing it out from the back still shadowing up to Diego Carlos [Applause] here this is something we’re well used
To seeing with Villa that they hold the ball deep the referee Paul TI has actually held up play here and Musa diabi has come over to the touch line and I’m not quite sure what this is about but the referee has halted play he has got the ball in his hands players
Were coming over for a drink ini I thought diabi might have had a a cuss to his mouth or something like that that they needed to attend to it’s not quite clear why play has been held up but it has and uh maybe it is that you know
Maybe diabi has needed to uh or is it is it um it might be for religious reasons or something he wants to come across and get some food I think it might be that actually that would make sense as the Abby comes across uh and he’s
He’s given a banana and a and a drink down there see yes I think that was the reason so that was why Paul TI stopped the play to allow that to happen Aster Villa one wolver Hampton wand is nil 54 minutes played the goal from Musa diabi separates the teams here at Philip
[Applause] Park play back underway earlier on today Newcastle beat West Ham by three goals to nil Newcastle in started the day a point behind wolves but obviously moved ahead of them with that Victory long ball here which kilman’s got to deal with on the edge of
His own penalty area and he does well against Jan and now down goes toty Gomez fouled by Leon Bailey and that is a free kick to wolves Midway inside their own half they’ be pleased wolves the way that the second half started it’s been a little bit Scrappy they’ve had some
Decent possession put Aston Villa on the back foot this is toy Gomez into Jo Gomez back to Max kilman and he tries to look expansively towards the right wing looking for Nelson C good defending Alex Moreno to nip in first and not only nudge the ball away from Nelson C but
Actually hold on to it now he’s back pedling towards his own penalty here oh he’s got to be careful here he’s lost it Moro chance for WS lamina gets a header on target but he couldn’t get power he collided with the defender who I think
Was kza as the ball was in the air and coming to him he kept his balance and even though he’d been collided with he still got the header no power on that and an easy save for Martinez but lamina slow to get back to his feet after that I don’t think
There’s any chance it’s going to be a penalty but Moreno is a lucky boy he gave it away on the edge of the penalty area there Moreno very guilty of overplaying he was running up a dead end he had nowhere to go and he started running across his own 18 yd line lost
Possession the ball came into the box and he was very very lucky that his team didn’t concede there Alex Moreno this season WS have tended to raise their game against the best teams uh wolves might be surprised to hear have won more points against the top
Five clubs in the table than than any other team I mean Liverpool City arsal they’ve not won as many points against the other top five clubs as wolves have 10 points wolves have taken against top five clubs this evening hoping to get more here but at the moment trailing by
A goal to nil Diego caros just outside his own penalty area sends a long ball right footed in front of diabi kilman’s got a head start and he can shepher it back to the goalkeeper Jose sa away to our right hand side if you weren’t with
Our coverage in the first half Paul felt that jel s might have done a little bit better for the Aston Villa goal the diabi shot from the edge of the box that sa wasn’t able to say kilman has it just outside his own penalty area gives it
Short to the feet of Mario lamina lamino was sent off against Aston Villa when these sides met in October a game that finished 1-1 Nelson SEO into Tommy Doyle hoist one over the top for Nelson C to run on to again Moreno’s the defender beaten by the bounce on this occasion
Sarabia back to Nelson Sao into the penalty area sends in the cross po Torres was Keen to with his hands wrapped behind his back and it’s come off he shoulder his chest and it’s got out for a corner corner to wolves on the right hand side they still Trail by a
Goal to nil on five live in BBC sounds but it’s that right channel where they were getting so much joy in the first half with with SEO the interplay with lamina the onew saravia getting involved getting in behind vill and getting themselves a corner so corner to wolves Villa have
Brought everyone back to Defender Sarabia leaning back as he plays it in and toy Gomez who was trying to Shadow the goalkeeper martinz has fouled him as the ball was in flight into the penalty area and that is going to be a free kick
To pH I mean I mean Paul doesn’t it just make you sick these goalkeepers the most protected I don’t know where you’re going this we have this conversation most weeks and I’ve been honest my my goalkeeper Union card has been revoked in in lie of honesty I wouldn’t be able
To do this if I wasn’t honest but that was a f in Emy Martinez it certainly was it really really really was so it is now who’s that there is a gentleman in the stands whose face has come up with the big screen and he’s getting a big big is that Juan Pablo
Angel still devilishly goodlook after all these years looking very Suave looking on Juan Pablo hangel the Colombian Striker who was always very popular amongst V fans during his time here at Villa Park in the he’s got a big room I mean they’re enjoying that today they’re putting Villa players up the big
Screens and the the fans are giving them a big cheer each time I’m surprised that the cheer John mcin got when he got I mean he got suspended he’s cost his team three games he should be playing I mean I understand that fans have got the heroes and you know players that they
Want to watch but they want to watch John mcin on the pitch not sat in the stand yeah so here’s P Torres on the edge of his own penalty area rolls it back into em Martinez and again he’s just going to slow it all down now Villa aware of the
Fact they are in front and not pushing this too much they’d love to draw wolves out and try and get in around the back of them here comes Kon trying to do just that finds Leon Bailey skips in field to kilman then he goes around totty Gomez
He shot I don’t know if he kicked the ground or whether he clipped toy Gomez but there was no power in the shot I don’t think the shot would have even reached the goal as josear came out and was able to pick it off I think he was
Caught in two minds he cut inside brilliantly well took two wolves Defenders out the way and then just as he looks up to shoot he saw the Run of John Duran and I think he got caught in two minds as whether to actually shoot or play a strike partner in in the end
He ended up doing neither uh I had a long drive last night and I I’d saved up to listen to the the five life Sports special celebrating um 30 years of of commentary um and it is a little bit tricky to find normally we just say go
To BBC sounds or go to where you get your podcast this one’s different because it’s featuring all these commentary moments from down through the years it won’t be there for long there’s a rights restrictions I think it’s only a few more days so you got to do is go
To BBC sounds go to the schedule and go back to Thursday night and you’ll find it there 7:30 Thursday if you didn’t hear the show and you enjoy sport on the radio I strongly recommend that you give that a listen with Ellie aldroid John Murray and Steve buns that’s available
On the BBC sounds website but go to the schedule and find it Thursday 7:30 Martinez gathers the ball well above his head and all in one motion he’s bolded out underarm to Morgan Rogers Rogers doesn’t see the room for a Counterattack and he gives it back in field to Diego
Carlos Villa still lead by a goal to nil Joe Gomez has done well to put pressure on ezri Konza and he’s won the ball off him for wolves wolves haven’t down tools here they’re very much still in it Doyle sends it over the top lamina is clearly
Offside he knew it too he tried to rectify it but it was too late and that is a rather needless free kick given away and possession back to Aon Villa Paul Robinson and you can see just down in front of us here unai Emory getting more and more animated more frustrated
At his team’s lack of urgency he knows that it’s this this game’s on a knife edge he knows that wolves are starting to get back into this game but also he knows that his team have got the threat on the Counterattack hence the reason why I think he’s turned to his bench now
And there’s two Villa substitutes getting stripped and ready to come on yes you mentioned that Zola as soon as um un emry came out of the tunnel from halftime he he leaned back in his chair and he he told Zolo to go through a warm-up routine so he’s coming on and so
To lucao the French left back who has come on as a replacement for Alex Moreno in several recent games the one recent match that has started since injury was that heavy defeat against Tottenham where he didn’t cover himself in much Glory doy put under pressure by diabi here Villa haven’t made those
Substitutions yet but they are coming presently kilman’s ball over the top looking for lamino increasingly is going forward to try and help out chaom who’s controlled it really well in the Box Diego Kos challenges him and that’s really good defending from the Brazilian chuom the England under 18 Striker
Denied a shot at goal Diego caros has hurt himself in the process there and play will just be held up while we see if he’s going to need any treatment but that was Brave defending from the Brazilian very very brave defending by Diego Carlos gets himself between the
Goal and the player stands up and he makes a really important tackle chom’s through makes a slide tackle and what chomi does he goes to strike the ball and he just lands on Diego Carlos just after he strikes the ball but it’s a fantastic block by The Villa Center
Half Aston Villa one will be have to wander is nil five line from the BBC to tomorrow will bring you Liverpool against Brighton at 2 and the big one Manchester City against Arsenal from the etti hat at 4:30 with correspondent John Murray so both teams about to make a
Change here warm Applause around the stadium as Morgan Rogers and as predicted Alex Moreno make way so lucinho will slot in at left back where Moreno was and Zano will come on in place of Rogers who uh well I don’t think he is the finished article in
Terms of a Defender but going forward they have got a rough diamond here at Villa that they will enjoy polishing in the months and years to come he looked very good in glimpses today I’m surprised they’ taken him off I really am I mean it may be the defensive side
To his game that unai Emy he wants to sh up that the defensive side between now and the end of the game but Morgan Rogers was excellent going forward today he had you know burst in behind F first thought was forward first thought was to get forward and take players with him
And I’m surprised that the the manager’s taken him off the change for wolves will be in defense Hugo Bueno has got to come on in place of Ryan e Nori so wolves have got two buenos now multi Bueno with Santio Bueno and Hugo Bueno on the pitch for
The visitors still one nil to Villa and Gary o will be hoping for no bueno not no bueno so wolves desperately looking for a way back into the game Paul Robinson watching with us here at Villa Park this is five live in BBC sounds goal for Musa
Diabi in the first half kilman wins ahead gives it straight to diabi low ball into the feet of John Jan who came out as a halftime substitute for Ole Watkins P Torres now has possession left hand side of the field as Villa come out in the first touchdowns coming on for
Luca daa over there daa whose first ever Premier League appearance was against wolves that was back on his Everton debut in 2018 this is zaniolo oh that’s a lovely turn that was like a zadan turn dragged the ball under his foot and took it with him now he Bears down to the
Penalty area he’s got diabi outside him K is up there to to join in clip back in must be the ball is over the net and Aston Villa celebrates the second goal that was brilliant and Zolo was at the heart of it there’s four or five players who all huddle together in celebration
We mentioned that Ezra kza hasn’t scored a goal in years and years he seems to be getting a lot of the celebrations down there for the last touch but in truth it was to barely touch it over the line that must be one of the most close range
Goals you’ll see in the Premier League this season kza takes the Applause his first goal in two years and it’s ailla to wolves nil Zolo making an instant impact absolutely fantastic by Zolo down this left hand side does so well what a fantastic turn and what is his K are
Down the right hand side he goes to lift the ball to the far post he’s looking for his teammate John Duran at the far post con is just outside the 6-y box he flicks it up in the air hoping to find his teammate at the far post when
Actually it comes off the outside of his boot kza lifts it over the goalkeeper lifts it over everybody and the ball drops into the far right hand corner incredible he’s so close he’s an inch or two for the by line but he manages to somehow probably unintentionally let’s
Be fair thread it through the eye of a needle and John Jan would have put it in anyway and Jan has made a tackle on kilman and it’s all falling apart for wolves here’s diabi 2-0 to Villa sandolo saved by saah and the goalkeeper does well the second time and the Pendulum
Has firmly swung in Villa’s favor now look at the atmosphere around Villa Park there’s some pyrro Technics have been let off there’s smoke in the air the vocal encouragement of a fan base who believe they’re on their way to the Champions League next season incredible noise incredible support from the V fans
It’s amazing what a goal can do when they just got that belief it was the game was on a knife edge wolves were coming back into the game Villa were looking nervy they got theel back in it and they should be three up Zola has had such a good opportunity wolves are all
Over the place they give it away again here’s zaniolo into the penalty area shoots the angle was tied and it’s saved by Jose S 2N laston Villa but they currently look in danger of running away with this all of a sudden the pendulum swings again back into Villa’s favor a
Goal probably against the Runner play kza lifts it to the far post drops in the far post and then out of nowhere they win a tackle and Zano finds himself through side foot against Jose S it’s a really good Save By The Wolves goalkeeper Jose S but as you can tell by
The atmosphere here inside Villa Park they believe they do believe defending to do with the moment for Viller PW Tor Sprints back to the edge of his own penalty area gets there ahead of the debutant Leon Chom Viller look to play it out and he wants his nearly caught
He’ll do well to get away with this but he’s not going to Chom oh it just wouldn’t set up for him did well to launch in and as he tried to get back to his feet he couldn’t control possession and Villa will bring it away again a villa who’ve never played Champions
League football they last played in the the old European Cup the 8283 season that was when they were riging Champions they reach the quarterfinal stage you know what I always think if if you said to a villa fan back then it’ll be into 2024 before you next get back in the
European Cup I don’t think they would have believed you such was the the dominance of that team at the time it has been way too long a wait 2-n here though Villa about to move back up into the top four after tunham Le frog them earlier and they want to stay there here
Is Musa ABI trying to get away from Joe Gomez good work from the Brazilian plays it back into Mario lamino infield to Tommy Doyle the task for wolves has just got doubly difficult now they’ve to try and come back from two goals behind this is Santiago Bueno on the halfway line [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] lucaa strong defending for the M who got the late winning goal against Luton at the start of the month what an important goal that was for Villa’s Champions League charge John Durant goes down Villa fans F he was fouled by Santiago Bueno and the the referee agrees that
All those 50/50 battles are going the way of the home side now wolves are going to make a change Tommy Doyle is going to make way that is his final action of the game coming on will be toand Chua who’s the Zimbabwe and midfielder former IP switch player
Yet to start a game for wolves but this will be his third substitute appearance in the Top Flight Doyle slowly making his way off the pitch and he looks exhausted having given it everything to try and come back but Villa have been able to move up not even just one but a
Couple of gears really in this second half to dominate the game they have they started off the second half in a nervy fashion uh they dominated the first half went in at halftime One n up and they always needed that second goal and it looked like wolves had a little bit of
Belief the way that they started the first half they replicated that in the second belief looked to be growing but then Villa now they got possession got them on the Counterattack and now Aston Villa look very very comfortable that second goal has been huge for Villa it
Really has turn the game massively in the favor and and it’s a real big uphill task now for wolves to to get back into this game to get get something out of it as we enter the last 20 minutes you can catch all the highlights tonight match
Of the day 10:30 on bbc1 with Alex Scott presenting with the Steven Warick and Martin K so free kick to Villa on the halfway line they lead 2-n Douglas Luise prepares to take it Uno Emery you wouldn’t say he now looks fully relaxed he still looks very much strung out down
There as he stands with his hands and his hips watching his team progress down the left hand side zaniolo and Di have both made bright impact since coming on and Zola’s been failed by Nelson C increasingly here wolves are struggling to contain Villa looks really good Zano
Doesn’t he looks fresh looks sharp and the substitutions what Uno Emery has made I mean we questioned him taking off Morgan Rogers but Zano’s come on he’s he’s created the second goal he’s had a really good opportunity to score and he’s just won his side a free kick there
In a really dangerous position similar sort of physical sture Rogers and zaniolo they are tall they are agile they are strong Zano’s made his way into the penalty area he hasn’t started a Premier League game since December but he is regularly sprung from the bench
And he played a big part in that key astonvilla second goal that has them in front here with 18 minutes of normal time to play Gary O’Neal is desperately trying to get some sort of signal onto his players on the pitch as they line up to defend this free kick Douglas Luiz in
Swinger pow Torres hooked out a sort of donkey kick to try and flick it with his heel that propelled the ball up into the air and Jose sa was able to gather now this is not the final Premier League game of the afternoon it’ll be an 8:00 kickoff between
Brenford and Manchester United and the team news is in for that good evening Henry Moran good evening two changes for brenford from defeated at Burnley Keen Lewis posa replaces a suspended reg on Yo yalia comes in for in yua Brian Bueno fit enough for a place amongst the substitutes United unchanged from the
Cup win over Liverpool L Sandro Martinez returns to the bench after injury thanks very much Henry we’ll keep you up to date with uh how that develops throughout the during 606 with Robbie Savage and Chris Hutton which is coming up at the end of this game in around
About half an hour’s time as here comes down the right hand side uh Nelson Sao held up by Zolo and that’s what Zano has been doing a bit better than what Rogers was earlier in the match getting back goals side and putting the pressure on from a defensive standpoint lamina runs
Into lucaa Villa get it back again doas Louise protects the ball with his body tries to Shield it tackles sliding in everywhere has Dina play a great ball in front of Jan now can he get into the penalty area kilman is trying to sweep across diab is available Jan goes for
Goal himself and it ended up being a crosscom shot that might well have been pounced upon by Leon Bailey I don’t think he believed it was coming Bailey and had he had he thought there was a chance he might have continue that run he had stepped on the brakes as the ball
Came in and wolves get away with that one that’s the danger that Villa pose on the Counterattack the pace of Bailey the pace of dii it’s one long ball over the top Bailey’s uh diab’s through sorry Jan through one-on-one makes the wrong decision runs at the Wolves back four
Takes all the Defenders towards him the holds back towards the edge of the box he should literally Square it to the and he’s got a free strike at goal instead he goes for goal himself and gets it wrong quarter to Villa the goals today from diabi and kza K’s first goal in two
Years and unai Emer side two calls in front against Gary odal’s W to hampt to Wanderers here filler wait for the instruction to take the [Applause] corner Paul spotted something on the far side of the VOR screen is illuminated over there but I don’t know if that’s
Are they waiting to see what’s going on here now the referee’s assistant is running down towards a gentleman with a brief this might be one of these often seen communication problems that we have with the officials uh yeah he’s he’s rolling up his sleeve you know you know the drill
They all have it strapped on to their arm and I think they’re going to try and get his microphones and and headphones sorted out Steve Meredith is the assistant on the far side he’s had to take off his shirt here and of course he gets the the wolf whistles from the The
Spectators nearby as uh he’s got to uh change his gear there on the far side quarter of an hour to go just to hold of just for a moment I thought there might have been a VOR break that usually is what it is when they don’t take a corner but it
Was put put out a play for this ailla corner which they are still waiting to take on the right hand side well we’ve got the break in play a reminder uh of what’s coming up tomorrow on five live we’ll be on air from lunchtime Liverpool against Brighton is the 2:00 kickoff
Full commentary on five live and then Manchester City against ARS it’s a huge day Paul tomorrow in that title race you know and and wouldn’t it be great if if it continues to be a three-way battle right till the end of the season well it’s been intriguing hasn’t it I mean
It’s been an intriguing battle every every week we we’re getting important games and you look at the fixtures but those three teams have got to come between now and the end of the season there’s a lot more twists and turns you know tomorrow is not going to Define who
Who ends up as title winners but it’s a magnificent game that we’ got to look forward to at the EAD with Arsenal going there a completely different proposition to what they were this time last year Liverpool still in it very much still in it and there three teams now it’s very
Very difficult to call who’s going to win it absolutely so many good battles across the field in in that game very much looking forward to rodri against Dean rise for one uh we’re not missing any live action here Steve meridi the assistant on the far side is still
Getting his uh Batman utility belt re-equipped um by by a young man who’s coming to work today he didn’t know he was going to be such centor stage this young man who’s the technician tried to put on all the equipment and and try to make sure that that all the wires and
Microphones are correct and now suddenly finding center stage with a a camera in the face Meredith’s got a put back up got his shirt and we are ready to get back underway any moment now this delay will all be added on to the stoppages at
The end of the match as to Villa 2 wolver Hampton Wanderers nil chance to look at that ezri kza goal again on the big screen he’s definitely triying to cross it from the by line on the right but it goes over the goalkeeper and Loops into to the far corner of the net
The defender did get back Twi to shuffle it away but the ball had clearly crossed the line okay I think we’re back and ready we’re good to go corner to ason Villa right hand side of the halt de joyous atmosphere around Villa Park with the home team leading 2-n against one of
Their near neighbors quarters played into the penalty AA Chom tries to clear it away appeals for a hand ball play onto the referee diabi crosses from the left and it comes off toy Gomez and it goes out for yet another ailla Corner they still lead here by two goals to nil
They’re enjoying theel now the Aston Villa fans aren’t they they can see the finish line coming they’re very very comfortable in full control of this game at 2-0 looking forward to the last 10 minutes the H ends in full voice Villa getting Corner after corner and continuing with good
Possession this corner from the left as V come forward so ductus Louise will take this one there’s no one marking diabi of the far post here if took to sise spoton he played in towards the near post Jo heads it and that goes out for a third Aston Villa Corner in
Succession this will all be frustrating for wolves who in the hunt for a European place themselves they’ve already seen Newcastle win today they know Brighton above them are playing Liverpool tomorrow but as things stand wolves are going to be leaving here for that short 12 or 13 Mile journey home
With nothing here comes the latest Corner tus Louise the Brazilian short run up same angle of the front post comes up Santiago Bueno Corner number four in a row that’s incredible Pace what Douglas Luiz has got on that ball there he’s whipped and dipped that corner in everybody’s missed it at the
Near post it hits Bueno I don’t think he knows much about it that ball could have gone anywhere it could have ended up in his own net as well as it did just to the right of the upright I mean this is about as loud as I can remember hearing Philip Parkin in
Modern times the fans are thoroughly enjoying this and I think I think the the local rivalry Derby element to it is a huge part as the corner this time is too close to the goalkeeper and josea is able to gather after this Villa have quite the game on Wednesday they travel
To the etti hat to play Manchester City next weekend brenford come here in the Premier League and that’s followed by the visit of Le in the Europa conference League vill got some really big games to come they’ve got Manchester City and Arsenal as two of the next four games
The game against Ajax in the conference League that was a real throwback wasn’t it I mean you you see those two European Giants have passed if you like playing against each other but the European competition has been fantastic for Villa this season and to be where they are in
The league and still go deep deep into a European competition has been another really good achievement for the manager there could yet be some European silverware celebrated here at Villa Park by the end of the campaign but it is going to be a dragon resources which Villa need now across the European
Exploits and domestically to to stay in the top four wolves next few games by the way they’re away again on Tuesday they travel to Burnley and it’s West Ham at home next Saturday that’s followed by Nottingham Forest away free kick to astonvilla here near the half way line
We’re into the final 10 minutes now of normal time there will be considerable stoppages though we’ve had quite a few delays in this second half ezri Kono one of Villa’s goal scorers today gives it to Leon Bailey on the halfway line he cuts in field of hug buo Bailey gets it
Back again good footwork kza challenged by jroa and that is going to be a free kick and then jroa doesn’t Retreat away and that’s a needless booking free kick to Villa he stood on the ball wouldn’t allow will take it and he gets a yellow card for that the youngster I think he
Had to looking at where the free kick was kza got up put the ball down really quickly and Bailey was on his bike again he was gone coner had a free pass into Bailey and he was in he cut into the box I think the youngster had to take the booking
Then the Wolves are about to make another at least one change it might be two or even three actually there’s a whole lot of activity going on in that technical area down to our right hand side zaniolo here is putting pressure on SoMo Battle of the 222s zaniolo wins it
Into the penalty area pulls it back stretching yugoo prods it away only as far as Douglas Luiz he gives it to the right hand side to diabi just outside the Wolves penalty area that’s good defending by Joe Gomez who’s been one of wolves better players today and then
It’s a hand ball I think by diabi as he tried to control it and that’s got to be a free kick to wolves and this you know even with the score line now heavily in Villa’s favor it remains a good watch this game as three substitutes prepared
To come on together for Gary O’Neal and wolves but not quite yet eight minutes of normal time to go and the substitute for astonvilla Zolo he’s the one that’s made the real difference for me he’s made a real impact since coming on his reading of the game his ability in the
Final third and his quality he just looks so good on the ball his vision he’s made a real impact since he’s come on hug go Bueno down the left hand side gives it into Joe Gomez back to Mario Lina cross to Santiago Bueno Midway into
The Villa half plays it high into to the Penalty area too high and easy pickings for Emmy Martinez who comes out and and gathers it he made a great save in the first half Emmy Martinez wolves will be disappointed they haven’t challenged him more in this second period right here
Comes the the triple hang on not quite yet three Subs are ready to come on but the ball is in play Zano has it on the far side this is five live and BBC sounds the Premier League this 5:30 game Manchester United’s trip to brenford to come United with an unchanged team from
Their FA Cup game against Liverpool and there’s a wolves player who has gone down and it’s Max kilman being heled back up to his feet now the referee has got the notebook out and I think it’s John Duran who’s going to see yellow for that foul on Max kilman yellow oh yellow
Card for both of them so kilman obviously reacted mastera to wolves nil it was kilman going through the back there of John Duran John Duran didn’t like it it was a free kick initi given but then as Duran was going down he just felt the need just to lean on the back
Of kilman’s head which the referee saw and he called it right actually the referee so here come the changes uh first of all it will be uh cha sorry Chom going off the number 84 the 18yearold who’s made his debut Nathan Fraser will lead the line the young
Irish under 19 forward who comes on he’s had to really dig deep into the youth team Gary O’Neal in terms of Strikers at the moment Nelson Sao is being hooked for mat toi so that’s like for like at right wing back and Xiao KZ Will Make Way in Midfield so that bubacar trayor
Can get the closing stages of this game Jo Gomez Who’s impressed today but beginning to run out of steam so those are the changes for Gary O’Neil he can only hope that they can make the sort of impact that unai Emer substitutes have made in this game so far 2-0 V Le it’s
Got the feeling of a game that’s over hasn’t it from an Aston V point of view you can get a feeling of the atmosphere The Villa fans are delighted the team’s played well they’ve got their second goal but it’s going to take something special from wolves and that’s what Gary
O’Neal’s done now changed his formation he’s gone to a more like a 433 in possession they have to do something if they got a chance of getting back in this game at such a late stage this has been more lik it today from wolves the performance that they needed after some
Shaky performances recently and they had that incredible run from I think it was last March through to December where they won 15 home League games in a row I mean that is fantastic almost you know sustainable form no team is ever going to I mean even the invincibles didn’t go
On a run like that um but just recently just two wins in the last six Premier League home games and that’s why Uno Emery has needed this sort of performance a dominant one against wolves who haven’t been bad themselves but have just been outclassed trayor recently on as a replacement for wolves
Tries to clear it away but he can’t get away from Jan and the ball goes out of play on the fir side for throw into wolves we’re into the last 5 minutes stoppage is two though that’s probably the bones of a quarter of an hour still a play been really impressed with the
Forward play from Villa today the likes of Bailey Zolo when he’s come on he’s made a real difference like we’ve said Watkins in the first half came off at half time suspected his carrying injury but the pace of theb and Duran when he’s come on they look a real threat they’re
Quite happy to sit in shape but when they win the ball back on turnover they spring and they’ve got real pace and power to do that they look a real threat when they’re on the Counterattack diabi SC on the first half e Reza’s goal in the second half what a week it’s been
For kza his England debut honors a sub against Brazil then in midweek he starts for England for the first time against Belgium now today he gets his first premier league I mean he won’t be able to sleep tonight will he he’s living the dream ezri kza hoping that this role is
Going to continue kilman’s possession for wolves inside his own half ship has sailed I think for wolves today they’re playing it around they’re trying to convince that they’ve still got forward propulsion but Villa have just been able to out muscle them outthink them they look beaten don’t they they the wolves
Look down and out they look devoid of ideas it’s going to take something special as as we said before for for them to turn this game or at least to get some kind of a spark this trayor number six for wolves that’s a good ball to Hugo Bueno on the left hand side
Kanza comes out to try and close him down D gets up and the header is over the top Wolf’s best chance in sometime a Matt doy header from the edge of the 6-y box but he to jump so high he couldn’t get that extra leap to then be able to
Direct the header downwards and Matt Dy who has scored one Premier League goal since returning to wolves from Tottenham was not able to make it an exciting finish here but putting that a little bit lower change coming for the home teams now irum is going to come on in
Place of diabi Mr diabi who set Villa on their way with that important goal in the first half yeah he’s been good today and you can see the standing ovation that the Villa fans have given him I think un just given him a arrest just to
Make sure that he comes out this game unscathed ready for the the busy fixture list ahead because Viller have certainly got the self back on track today if it stays like this Sim arunam comes on this is his sixth Premier League appearance of the Season they’ve all been off the bench and the
20-year-old are just slot in with some fresh legs into the midfields now for these closing stages at Villa Park we’re live in Birmingham 606 to come on BBC Radio 5 live trayor wins it back for wolves in the Midfield darti No Way Forward down the right hand side so he’s
Forced to retreat back to kilman and ultimately all the way back to the goalkeeper Jose sa wolves trying to come but they’re making hard work of it to break up to the halfway line kza comes into challenge Hugo bua both teams appealing that the throw in should be theirs the
Officials give it to the visitors Hugo’s throw to lamina Nathan Fraser the teenager who’s just come on uh trying to Sprint after it he got his first senior in the last two games Fraser he started the last Premier League game um the the four3 defeat to to Manchester United I
Think it was and then he started the FA Cup as well but it was his youth team colleague Leon chuom was given the starting role today in Fraser who’s finishing the match pal Torres gets his shirt pulled by Pablo saravia play on As the referee Zolo controls him with his
Shoulder first under the pitch from us then Santiago Bueno bulldozes into the back of him and that is a free kick to aill who are just deploying good game management now to see this through as we approach the final minute of the 1990 that’s exactly what that was by Zano
Very aware that he had the Wolves Defender behind him he knows in the area of the pitch that he’s in he just invited the foul won the foul won the free kick for his side who again get comfortable possession deep in their own half Villa who have enjoyed the turn in
Fortune since the arrival of unai Emory hoping for the Strong finish of this campaign that will propel them into the Champions League next season they only had 30% possession against Tottenham the last home game here it’s been much much better today than that 4-n defeat this has been much
More like it from munai emer’s team they will need to be sharp for Wednesday in that trip to the ettia Villa 2 wolves nil Diego caros plays It Forward header W by San dieago Bueno goes straight to a villa player Bailey tried to bring it with him and a very
Clumsy challenge by Tony Gomez and the referee is reaching for his pocket and this is trouble for Santiago Gomez it’s going to be a yellow card sorry for toy Gomez he was he knew he was being outpaced and it’s a deliberate foul short to the Penalty area that presents
Filler with a free kick in range again it’s the pace that they have on the break telan doesn’t even need to look up he just turns the ball over the top and he knows in Bailey has got a willing runner in behind gets in behind the Wolves defense
It’s a clumsy clumsy challenge he just kind of Falls over and brings him down on his way down but again it’s it’s the pace on the Counterattack it’s the threat that Viller have got so Brighton playing tomorrow against Liverpool currently ahead of wolves at the table Newcastle have gone ahead of
Both of those today if Brighton were to beat Liverpool tomorrow then a little Gap would be emerging between wolves and that hunt for a European Place ahead of them Villa here back inside the top four if they hold on for the these three points as we are into stoppage time now of which
There will be 9 minutes to be added on you know if that Dary header had G in a few minutes ago this would be a very different mood and atmosphere around Villa Park as it is free kick seven or eight yards outside the penalty area tons and Douglas Luise standing over
Douglas Luiz chips it in looking for p Torres good headed by DOI zanola tries to follow up a shot not enough room for that it’s charged down the Italian will get a second chance here outside the penalty area left inside as wolves come forward as Villa come forward lucadia
Takes on Matt Dy here Dy leaning into him Villa want a free kick another Push by Dari daa bounces back up off the turf Villa fans enjoyed that and somehow they’ve managed to hold on to possession have they ultimately trayor is able to get it back for wolves but there has
Been a hunger about Villa today they’re fighting for everything at the moment Cross Field clearance will pick out Hugo Bueno on the left hand side he’s got toy Gomez making ground outside him to stoppages at phip Park poor touch spikes a and that sort of sums up Wolves
Day as their attempts to get back into it Peter out once again we’ve already played two of the N9 minutes been added on we got to admire Aston Villa today the way that they’ve committed theel to the cause of the game plan and even now into the 93rd minute injury time they’re
Still pressing high they still want possession they still want to get the ball back and retain possession this late in the game much to discuss with Robbie Savage and Tris suon on 606 coming up very shortly on five live you can get on the air 0885 99 693 is the
Number to call I’m sure Newcastle fans will want to get on the air and talk about their 4-3 win over West Ham at St James’s park today I’m sure Everton fans will want to discuss the defeat away at Bournemouth the unfortunate own goal by Sheamus Coleman consigning Everton to
Defeat today Chelsea held 2-2 at home by burn Le there was a bit of controversy as well DCC had a goal ruled out in that one exciting game at br Lane Sheffield United drawing 3-3 with Fulham and Tottenham who had to come from behind to ultimately beat Luton by two goals to
One here shabia edge of the area trying to tear it up for himself but zoto was able to nip it and win possession back for Villa and then there’s a foul and Chiran and he’s complaining saying that that’s happened too many times from Santiago Bueno but no further action
From the referee just a free kick to Villa who still lead 2-n with now 6 minutes of sages to go it’s another example of we spoke about the The Villa players commitment to the cause the defending there you know Zano’s come on he’s he’s created the goal he’s got an
Opportunity for himself but there that’s him there in the 94th minute back in his own 18 Yard Box defending just to make sure that his team try and hang on to this clean sheet so wolves who’ve had such a good record against Aston Villa in recent
Times but are on their way to defeat here coner plays a very snazzy onew with the abun him there that’s the kind of maneuver you do when you’re comfortably in front ultimately kza loses the ball after that clever onew though and a chance for wolves to break into the
Penalty area down the left hand side with trawa he hits the tech referee was right beside it Paul TI he says no penalty and a fact it’s a free Kick the other way for aalon ezri conza free kick to Aster Villa who are almost there yeah
Just about there I mean I think they they’ve been there for a while in all honestly haven’t they wolves have been fairly Toothless in this second half can’t really think of many opportunities apart from the docky header uh late on in the game decent cross into the box
Could have possibly done better with it but you know Emmy Martinez hasn’t other than that fantastic block that he made in the first half his goal hasn’t really been troubled this game this is about to be a first defeat in seven local Derbies against Anon Villa for wolver Hampton
Wanders odai Emory preparing one last late change here now Omari kellyan is down there and it’s going to actually be Kane Kesler Hayden who will come on this will be his Premier League debut he’s been on the bench for the last few months on a regular basis but he’s never
Got onto the field before Kane Kesley Hayden a young Defender 21 years of age about to make his Premier League debut for Villa he had been on loan at Plymouth earlier on in the campaign and Villa recalled him Zuko Bueno back to sui Gomez wolves have possession the other halfway line
We’re into the 96th minute now here is bubot tror coming forward rolls it to the right hand side to Pablo Sarabi a good return ball for Dy nice weight of on that too do he pulls it back from the by line but behind Nathan Fraser and
Villa Shuffle it out for a quarter kick corner to wolves who are surely out of time here but Sarabia is sprinting to get it and he wants to get this corner kick into that penalty area as quickly as possible it’s a lovely run by doti
And a great ball by Sarabia to find him inside the 18 yd box problem was doti just didn’t look up he played it across the sixy Box blind F had to defend it but he had two players in there of his own team that he could have picked out
If he’ have looked up right un’s got to take off his right winger Leon Bailey to introduce the defender Kane Kesler Hayden Kane Kesler Hayden who this this his Premier League debut he’s made an appearance for the first team before I remember being at the game and it was it
Was a famous One do you remember during Co times when there was an outbreak of Corona virus in the Villa training ground and they had to play their youth team in an FA Cup match against Liverpool well this guy Kane Kesler Hayden as a teenager back then played in
That match that was his only previous asille appearance but now he is on for his Premier League debut first shoting is to get in and defend this corner taken by Sarabia on the far side lamina is headed the front post well of Target goal kick to ailla
As we approach 97 minutes of the clock he’ll be delighted here I from what he’s got from his team today those passages a play in the first half where wolves started the game well had a couple of opportunities earlier on in the game but once Villa got their goal they’ve never
Really looked by they’ve controlled large parts of the games created a lot of chances in the final third of the field looked really effective they looked like they got the confidence back today Villa it’s a day that could have gone the other way for wolves we remember that glorious chance for Ryan
Iuri in the first half the heroic save by Emmy Martinez to deny him had Villa taken the lead at that stage well who knows the trajectory of this day and where it might have gone but you’ve got to credit Villa who didn’t start the game particularly well but they trusted
The syst system didn’t they they believed in the methods they followed the plan and they are on their way to a comfortable Victory now 90 seconds left of the 99 minutes to be played here comes Dy who’s actually looked bright since coming on spins away from Zolo gives the ball in towards Sarabia
Tackled by another good substitute Luca Dena the bul go out a play on the far side and a nice little high five between daa and Sarabia there two opponents who relish the battle against each other on that occasion think Gary O’Neal from a wolves point of view he’s just missing
In too many key players I know you’ve given the opportunity for the youngsters to come into the side but when you take out your two three top goal scorers in your side Neto is a big enough missing himself he’s such a huge influence on this wolf side but when you take out
Kuna when you take out Bellard hang as well you take out a lot of goals there there are a lot of key players for this team and the budget that Gary O’Neal’s worked on this season to have those players missing it’s just been too bigger task for them today yeah missing
One of those missing two of those would be bad missing four of them at the same time is Dreadful here’s fr it from a tight angle shoots into the side knitting that angle really was tight he’s only a few yards of the by line but it was worth buying the raffle ticket
There from Nathan Fraser looking for his first Premier League goal trying to catch out Emy Martinez at his front post he got plenty power on it but into the side netting he goes and will that be wolves last chance of the day here at Philip Park match of the day to come
10:30 tonight on bbc1 with Alex Scott 606 coming up very shortly with Robbie Savage and Su your chance to get involved in the debate on five live our Villa back in business they certainly appear to be on this performance and the Villa fans are about to leave their home
Stadium in much better spirits than they did in the last home League game here when they were beaten by Tottenham by four goals to nil that was just a blip it would seem here is Pablo Sarabia coming over the halfway line for wolves challenged by a buam that’s very neat
And tidy by him douas Louise battling on full of energy goes to ground no free kick though as wolves regain possession on the far side we have played over 99 minutes now we’re heading towards the 100 Zolo comes forward with those fresh legs of his having come out as the
Second half sub tried to give it to John Jan that’s not great from zerolo and it doesn’t matter because it’s the final action of the game anyway filler’s 18th Premier League win of the campaign they have now had as many wins this season as they managed in all of last season in
The top flight for wolves it’s three defeats from their last four games now in all competitions it’s back to the drawing board a little bit for Gary O’Neal who can’t get those forward attacking players back fit again quick enough but today Paul Robinson is Villa’s day and they’re back into the
Top four they looked comfortable at times today V it was a really really good performance had a game plan today with the attacking plays that they had on the field the pace on the Counterattack is what they did the substitutions that unai Emy made impacted the game Zolo in particular
Wolves as we said in commentary there Gary o’ can’t get those key players back quick enough they’re missing forward players yes they’ve got young players to come in it was fantastic to see them it was just one step too far for them today they struggled against the good Villa
Side Villa have struggled at home recently they look today like they got the confidence back at times in the first half eight Nori had the excellent chance where Martine has made a really really good block if that would have gone in it may have changed the shape of
The game I don’t think it would I think Villa had too much today they they seem to get the confidence back they were good in possession and they look like the team that we saw three or four weeks ago it’s only the second time since their return to the Premier League in
2019 that wolves have lost to Aston Villa it’s a significant win for unai Emery the first time that he’s ever recorded a win against wolves as a premier league boss he never did it with Arsenal in the past and for Villa a first premier league home win over
Wolves in 20 years the atmosphere has been great here All Season it has felt particularly good today with local rivals in town and it does feel Paul like something special is happening Champions League standards for Aston Villa it would see it certainly seems they’ve got the confidence back to get
Theel back up into fourth place today after a really good performance at home you look at the fixures they’ve got to come they’ve got to go to the EAD on Tuesday night a really tough game against Manchester City then they’re at home to brenford then they’ve got the quarterfinal against Le but the
Impressive thing for Aston Villa is they going deep into European competition while challenging for Champions League places well thanks very much to Paul Robinson been great having ball with us here at Villa Park this evening on five live a 2-n win for Aston Villa goals
